Kenneth Woodard

MANATEE COUNTY, Florida [NMT] -- WARNING!! The following report is graphic in content. If you have a weak disposition and cannot read such information without feeling disturbed, we urge you not to continue reading this report.

~~~~~~~~~~

According to a complaint filed with the court by the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, Kenneth Wayne Woodard, 58, of 6710 36th Avenue East, lot 33, Palmetto, was arrested on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 and charged with Sexual Battery of a mentally handicapped girl, 18 years old.

The complaint alleges on January 8, 2012, the girl attended church with Woodard, with the knowledge and permission of her mother.

After church, Woodard drove the girl to his residence where he provided her with lunch.

The girl talked to Woodard's stepson until the stepson left for work.

Soon after, Woodard told the girl to go to his bedroom. Once inside the bedroom, Woodard told the girl to take off her clothes, which she did.

According to the girl, as alleged in the complaint, Woodard kissed her breasts and manually molested her vagina.

The little girl told Woodard, "No," and to stop. She said she was not old enough to have a baby, the complaint alleges.

Woodard then had the girl lie down on his bed where he "got on top" of her and attempted to insert his penis into her vagina, but, according to the victim, "It wouldn't go all the way in."

Woodard allegedly climaxed, the complaint indicated. When the girl went to the bathroom, she had blood on the toilet paper.

To add insult to injury, Woodard gave the girl a $10 bill prior to her leaving the residence. He told her not to tell anyone.

The complaint stated "The victim has the mental capacity of a middle school student." [A middle school student is between the ages of 10-13.] When asked to explain the act of sexual intercourse, she could only say it is when something comes out of a man's penis and goes into a woman's vagina to make a baby, "but I don't know how it gets there," the girl told investigators.

On January 10, 2012, a controlled call was made from the girl to Woodard, during which she asked Woodard why he put his finger in her vagina and why he tried to have sex with her.

Woodard answered that "he was sorry, it wouldn't happen again and it happened due to the medication he was taking."

The complaint ended by saying, "[Woodard] has knowledge that [the girl] is mentally handicapped due to a medical problem when she was an infant."

The Manatee County Sheriff's Office detective who filed the complaint with the court is Det. Debra Kirkland.

A warrant for Woodard's arrest was issued by the court and Woodard was arrested.

He remains in the Manatee County Jail on a bail bond of $100,000.
